In his delivery Dr. Uttarwar elaborate the various reasons of stress induced within ourselves. Prof. Sameer Sawarkar nicely compeered the talk show and explain the need why heed to be given this burning topic.

Dr Uttarwar in his lucid delivery states that… Stress is the trash of modern life – we all generate it but if you don’t dispose of it properly, it will pile up and overtake your life.

He further says that Stress is the “wear and tear” our bodies experienced as we adjust to our continually changing environment; it has physical and emotional effects on us and can create positive or negative feelings. . In so adjusting to different circumstances, stress will help or hinder us depending on how we react to it.

As a positive influence, stress can help compel us to action; it can result in a new awareness and an exciting new perspective. As a negative influence, it can result in feelings of distrust, rejection, anger, and depression, which in turn can lead to health problems such as headaches, upset stomach, rashes, insomnia, ulcers, high blood pressure, heart disease, and stroke. The most common currently accepted definition of stress is something that is experienced when a person perceives that “demands exceed the personal and social resources the individual is able to mobilize.”

He further explain the correlation of stress with physiology and health. Stress is an unavoidable consequence of life. “Without stress, there would be no life”. When a person experiences stress, the brain responds by initiating 1400 different responses including the dumping of a variety of chemicals to our blood stream. This gives a momentary boost to do whatever needs to be done to survive. If left unchecked, however, the person can have a heart attack or stroke. Many people start drinking alcohol. They get depressed, find it difficult to sleep, experience chest pain. The body runs out of the immunity to fight diseases. So, very often, these persons die of disease such as cancer, pneumonia, etc. The stress will never be identified as the cause of the death. stress is the proxy killer. Some other disease always takes the blame for it.

Positive side of stress is there are good stresses that promote wellness. Stress is not always necessarily harmful. Winning a race or election can be just stressful as losing, or more so, but may trigger very different biological responses. Increased stress results in increased productivity — up to a point. However, this level differs for each of us. As we have seen, positive stress adds anticipation and excitement to life, and we all thrive under a certain amount of stress.

Deadlines, competitions, confrontations, and even our frustrations and sorrows add depth and enrichment to our lives. Our goal is not to eliminate stress but to learn how to manage it and how to use it to help us. Insufficient stress acts as a depressant and may leave us feeling bored or dejected; on the other hand, excessive stress may leave us feeling “tied up in knots.” What we need to do is find the optimal level of stress which will individually motivate but not overwhelm each of us.
